Because he possesses such a range of talents, White has worked with some of the most respected artists in the entertainment industry.

White grew up on Long Island, an excellent student, a practical joker and everybody’s friend. He was studying accounting at Nassau Community College when an English instructor recognized his gift for comedy. She urged him to try his hand at standup at one of the local comedy clubs. White was hooked, and so were his fans - it wasn’t long before he was a regular at Richard M. Dixon’s White House Inn on Long Island.

Comedy clubs all over New England began booking him, but his success on the club circuit neverlured him away from his studies. After two years, Steve graduated from Nassau and enrolled in Adelphi University. Steve completed his education graduating with a BS in Business. Faced with a choice between being an accountant or a full time standup comic, Steve put his finance career on hold and decided to pursue comedy.

White’s success in clubs and theaters led to multiple television appearances. Included amongst those are, NBC’s Late Friday and Showtime at the Apollo, Comedy Central’s Comics on Delivery, HBO’s Louis Anderson Showcase and Def Comedy Jam, A&E’s Evening at the Improv, MTV’s Half Hour Comedy Hour, Showtime’s Comedy Club Network, and Fox’s Comic Strip Live. In addition to standup, his appearances include NHL and MLB coverage for Comedy Central and a guest appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

In addition to his film work with Murphy and Lee, Steve went on to appear in other feature film including 20th Century Fox’s Ford Fairlane and Warner Brothers’ Other People’s Money. His additional television appearances include a guest starring role on “Living Single”, a recurring role on “Hanging with Mr. Cooper” and a guest host appearance on the legendary Soul Train.
